Abstract

Background: Non-gestational ovarian choriocarcinoma (NGOC) is extremely rare, particularly in the pediatric population. Few case reports have discussed NGOC with precocious puberty and mentioned both tumor markers (β-hCG, AFP, CA125) and the dynamics of gonadotropic and gonadal hormones.

Case: A 7-year-old girl presented with early puberty and an abdominal mass. Laboratory tests revealed elevated estradiol, β-hCG, and CA125 levels, with suppressed LH and FSH. She was diagnosed with ovarian choriocarcinoma and precocious puberty. Following tumor resection, her hormone levels normalized and symptoms resolved.

Conclusion: Pediatric ovarian choriocarcinomas are rare and may present with precocious puberty. Comprehensive endocrine evaluation, including serum hormone assays, is essential for diagnosis. Hormonal profiles in pediatric patients may differ from those in adults, with estradiol levels often being markedly elevated compared to age-specific reference ranges, and progesterone levels being relatively low.

期刊介绍： Journal of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology includes all aspects of clinical and basic science research in pediatric and adolescent gynecology. The Journal draws on expertise from a variety of disciplines including pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, reproduction and gynecology, reproductive and pediatric endocrinology, genetics, and molecular biology. The Journal of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology features original studies, review articles, book and literature reviews, letters to the editor, and communications in brief. It is an essential resource for the libraries of OB/GYN specialists, as well as pediatricians and primary care physicians.
